I am a registered dietitian and an advocate for plant-based nutrition. I've been a vegetarian for over 30 years (vegan for some). I have a master's degree in human nutrition from the University of Alabama and a plant-based nutrition certificate from Cornell University's Center for Nutrition Studies. Also, I am the Tennessee coordinator for the Vegetarian dietetic practice group. Why does any of this matter? It proves my passion, experience, knowledge, and dedication to help guide you on this journey.
I have enjoyed working in renal nutrition within the dialysis setting for the last three years. Many of the patients that I have seen struggled with hypertension and type 2 diabetes and had to start dialysis. I understand the importance of slowing down the progression of disease.
I aim to inspire a culture of health and self-care by providing people-focused nutrition counseling to individuals, families, and communities.
